Picked up this Taurus Tracker a couple of weeks ago but I'm not a big fan of the lit up lettering. Tryed non acetone nail polish remover, black nail polish, etc and nothing seems to stick or cover it up. Any ideas?

Thanks for the constructive suggestions! Not sure what all the Taurus bashing is about??? Maybe some bad experiences? I personally have no problem with owning a Taurus, had some good ones in the past. I also own Springfields, Rugers, Barettas, Remingtons, Marlins, and have had many more in the past. If it wasen't any good I'd get rid of it! (The electrical tape was kinda funny though)

Acetone. Buy a can and pour it into glass deep enough to soak the barrel in overnight. It may take a day or 2 but it will soften the paint and remove it. It evaporates quickly so the taller and thinner the glass the better (less surface area means less evaporation). --Jerry

Jasco makes a paint and epoxy stripper that pretty much dissolves anything. It's possible Taurus used an epoxy paint for durability. You may have to let it soak, scrape with a toothpick, reapply etc. but stripper will be better than acetone by itself.

Whatever you use, test a spot on the frame underneath the grip to see if it discolors the bluing. Good luck

tried this? There is another with a chisel tip which I thing is better.

Brownells sells gunsmithing epoxy that is black. I use it on all my metal engraving projects and the stuff is tough. Every engraved piece on these webapages has a black background which is a Brownells product designed for firearms.
